A middle-aged man was selling dozens of invitation tickets in a stall.
Anyone who passed by his stall couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
They were all aware that there were only a total of five hundred invitations for the party. These were not even enough for all the
young talents of the holy lands, influential clans, and first-class sects.
So it was impossible for him to have any extra invitation tickets for sale.
Each ticket was being sold at two hundred thousand divine vital energy crystals, which was very expensive.
"If you are not interested in these invitations. | have something more interesting.
| have a map of a secret land. It has a very detailed topographic features.
Once you have this map, you can explore the secret land where great opportunity awaits you.
Anyone who will have this map will be very lucky. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetopportunity."
The middle-aged man realized that no one believed the authenticity of the dozens of invitation tickets in his hand. So he quickly
changed the topic and started to talk about maps while pointing at the thick pile of the map on the ground.
Austin sneered when he recognized that the middle-aged man was a dishonest businessman. And those invitations for sale were
most probably be fake.
And the map of the secret land that he was claiming was probably made up.
"Everyone, please trust me. This secret land really exists, and it is located deep within the space crack.
Please believe me. Even the head of the Deep Sea Commercial House was now guarding near the entrance of the space crack. He
was trying to find a way to enter it.
Even if you have doubts, it's fine with me. But how could you not believe the owner of the Deep Sea Commercial House?
The secret land within the space crack really exists, and it is full of treasures and opportunities,"
the middle-aged man said excitedly.
Those people around sneered at him. They knew that he was unreliable and was just talking nonsense. A lot of them started to turn
around and leave.
Austin was about to leave. But he suddenly stopped when he heard the nof the Deep Sea Commercial House.
"Are you referring to the owner of the Deep Sea Commercial House? Are you sure that he is the one who is guarding near the
space crack?"
Austin asked inquiringly.
"Yes, I'm very sure! | saw it with my own eyes. It's impossible forto make a mistake.

So, buddy! Are you interested in my maps?
| am selling this map of secret lands for only two hundred thousand divine vital energy crystals.
Since you are my first customer, | will give you a fifty percent discount. You can now have it for just one hundred thousand divine
vital energy crystals."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed when Austin cup to him and inquired about the maps.
"Where is that space crack?"
Austin asked.
"It's over the Traverse Mountains. About three hundred miles away from the Shadow City.
The crack appeared in the sky over the Traverse Mountains about more than half a year ago.
At first, it was so tiny that you could barely notice it.
But now it is becoming more noticeable as it has been growing wider.
Almost everyone in the East Mainland knew about this.
Boy, haven't you heard about it?"
the middle-aged man said. Then he looked at Austin curiously.
"I see. | wonder why he is guarding that space crack."
Austin was bewildered.
He immediately squeezed out of the crowds. The middle-aged man trailed behind him and kept on offering the map of the secret
land. He was even willing to give it on a bargain and lowered the price to fifteen thousand and even at ten thousand divine vital
energy crystals.
Austin was aware that the middle-aged man was just trying to scam him, and he would never fall for his tricks.
Though Austin didn't believe the man's map, he suddenly realized that what the middle-aged man was saying about the space
crack could be true. Probably, Yannick was really there guarding near the entrance.
After sthought, Austin decided to go the Traverse Mountains and see what was going on.
As he was not familiar with the place, he asked around for the location of the Traverse Mountains. Using his bodily movement skill,
he left the Shadow City and headed toward its direction.
It took Austin half a day before he reached the entrance of the Traverse Mountains.
After a while, Austin saw a huge mountain with an amazing space crack above it.
The space crack was dark and about a thousand meters long. The chaotic and twisting space and tcould be faintly seen deep
inside the crack. Different kinds of strange colors and the constant change of the dazzling scenery could make the heart flutter.
Austin headed towards the mountain and released his spiritual sense.
After a while, he finally found Yannick. He was with a group of people who were hiding in the dense forest on top of the peak.
Austin moved towards the dense forest.
"Who are you? You have no business here, so please leave now."
The voice of Yannick resonated the moment Austin entered the dense forest.
Several masters of the Deep Sea Commercial House immediately blocked Austin.
Apparently, Yannick thought that it was an intruder. He didn't recognize that the visitor was Austin.
"Hi Mr. Yannick, Don't worry, it's me. Austin."
To prove his identity, Austin immediately sent a message to Yannick through his spiritual sense.
"Oh, you are Austin?"
Yannick was confused. He was quite uncertain because the aura of the ordinary-looking young man in front of him didn't feel like
Austin's.
"Yes, It's really me, Austin. | just used ssecret skill that enablesto mask my real face and aura,"
he explained.
"That's awesome! What kind of secret skill is that? You hid so well that | couldn't even see through your cover."
After Yannick confirmed that it was really Austin, he couldn't help but praise his special skill.
Austin was very satisfied with the Aura Disguising Skill that Elder Sharp gave him. It was so phenomenal. Even a master at
Yannick's level couldn't see through it.
"Mr. Yannick, why are you here?
Is there something special about that space crack?"
Austin asked curiously.
"This area is where Stacy was before she disappeared.
There is a faint wisp of spiritual aura that she left behind.
Her aura is especially obvious near this space crack
| suspect that Stacy might have entered into this space crack,"
said Yannick.
"Oh! So she left her aura in this place!"

Austin was a little surprised. Now he understood why Yannick was here.
"Gnome, cout and have a look. Can you find out what's wrong with this space crack? Try and see if you can get Stacy out?"
Austin instructed the gnthrough his spiritual sense.
The gninstantly appeared beside Austin.
"Something is not right!"
The gnmoved towards the space crack that was about a thousand meters wide. He penetrated the crack through his spiritual
sense, and his face started to look puzzled.
"Generally speaking, there is only a chaotic void deep within the space crack.
The aura emanating from this space crack seems to be different from the chaotic void."
Austin also cto the space crack and explored it through his spiritual sense.
"I find the space and tdeep within this space crack quite strange. It's constantly changing but very stable. It seems that there
is a fixed space on this space crack."
The gncould see things more clearly since his cultivation base of the spatial power was much higher than Austin.
"A fixed space? "
Austin was surprised.
"Is there really a secret place in there?"
Suddenly, Austin remembered the map that the middle-aged man was selling in the Shadow City.
'That guy looks dubious. | wonder if what he was saying about the secret place was true?"
Austin thought.
"It has been more than half a year since this space crack appeared here.
When it first appeared, its size was as tiny as a finger. It was quite unnoticeable.
As days go by, it grew wider and wider. Especially these days, it is now about a hundred meters in width and one thousand meters
in length,"
said Yannick.
"Nowadays, this crack is starting to attract the attention of a lot of cultivators.
There was even someone who was checking out this place a few days ago,"
Yannick said while looking around.
What he said was right as faint figures could be seen in the void from a distance. They were all very powerful warriors based on
their aura.
